October 30, 2014 at 8:46 am in reply to: FCP is adding around 2minutes of black to my Quicktime exports

I just wanted to add somewhat of a solution to this problem.

I was working with 50fps files and transporting to 25fps which created a video that was exactly twice as long with half of it just black space. I searched the internet but found no solutions.

Since a 25fps sequence session export would create a jittery video (I was working slow mo), I instead tried trimming in Mpeg converter which resulted in low quality files.

However, what worked was: opening up FCP 7, launching a new project, importing the double length video and cutting it to the desired end point (in my case half). The sequence it was on was then a perfect 25fps matching the source video of 25fps. I was then able to export it at the right length without loss of quality or jitter.
Hope that helps someone.

So yes, once I’m in 720 I have to go with that.

Just one more question: now I made the mistake of slowing down footage shot in 50fps, but not by Cinema Tooling it to 25fps, instead I made the error of actually slowing down the 50fps footage so that the entire session remains at 50fps.

I tried dropping this into a 25fps sequence but the end result is jittery.

Now if I export this to Apple Pro Res 422 25fps will there be any issues with say the youtube upload? I noticed it doesn’t look as jittery as the other solution so am more inclined to go with that, before having to reedit my entire session.

However, IF you know a way of reconverting all my clips to 25fps leaving everything in the sequence timeline as is that of course would be ideal, so I simply get the same video, but with the 25fps slow motion files.

Thanks, actually the sequence setting says 1280…

I would assume Resolve or Magic Bullet Colorista as these seem to be standard over here.

Thank you!

Many thanks!

The ten year olds amongst this forum will be grateful that you used apples to explain this 🙂

Hi Andrew, Cheers for that….so where am I going wrong…ie. what’s the calculation?

SOLVED, but if anyone is interested 165% did indeed work, ie adding the 40 plus a quarter on top did sync up with the original audio.
